Tell that to the Japanese. At least if you live in Japan you still have credit card options to supplement the MQD requirement. I don't see them moving en masse to KE despite the existence of a JV now, do you?

I imagine SM members living overseas form such a small part of the membership base that DL really has nothing to lose by keeping them onboard, but perhaps I was mistaken?
